Daily Vocabulary from International Newspapers (15 August 2025): DAILY QUIZ

1. The critic described the novelist as remarkably prolific, noting that her literary output had not only increased in quantity but maintained exceptional quality despite her accelerated publication schedule.

In this context, “prolific” most nearly means:

"Prolific" specifically means producing something abundantly and with great frequency or fertility. The context emphasizes both the quantity ("output had increased") and the rapid pace ("accelerated publication schedule") of the novelist's work. Option A focuses on inspiration rather than productivity volume. Option C emphasizes skill quality, but prolific specifically refers to quantity and frequency of output. Option D relates to commercial success, which is separate from productivity rate. Option E describes innovation, but prolific writers can produce abundant conventional work without being groundbreaking.

2. Which word most closely captures the meaning of “contentment” as experienced by someone who has achieved a state of peaceful satisfaction with their current circumstances?

"Contentment" refers to a quiet, peaceful satisfaction and acceptance of one's situation without restless desire for change. "Serenity" best captures this sense of calm, tranquil satisfaction. Both words suggest an inner peace and absence of agitation or wanting. Option A (euphoria) describes intense excitement or elation, which is much more active and intense than contentment's quiet satisfaction. Option C (ambition) involves striving for achievement, which contradicts contentment's acceptance of current circumstances. Option D (resignation) implies giving up or accepting defeat, which has negative connotations unlike contentment's positive satisfaction. Option E (gratification) suggests pleasure from fulfilling desires, but lacks contentment's deeper sense of peaceful acceptance.

3. In which context would the term “infants” be used most appropriately in its legal or technical sense rather than its common biological meaning?

In legal terminology, "infant" refers to a minor or person under the legal age of majority (typically 18), regardless of their actual age. This legal usage extends far beyond babies to include all individuals who lack legal capacity to enter contracts. The context of contract validity specifically points to this legal meaning. Options A, B, D, and E all use "infants" in the common sense referring to very young children or babies. This question tests understanding that many seemingly simple words have specialized technical or professional meanings that differ significantly from their everyday usage, which is a hallmark of GRE vocabulary complexity.

4. Select the word that is most nearly opposite in meaning to “stimulate” in the context of intellectual or physical activity:

"Stimulate" means to encourage, arouse, or increase activity, growth, or energy in something. "Suppress" means to inhibit, restrain, or put an end to activity, making it the most direct antonym. These words represent opposite actions regarding activity levels—one increases while the other decreases or stops. Option A (energize) is essentially synonymous with stimulate. Option C (motivate) and Option D (encourage) both align with stimulate's meaning of promoting activity. Option E (activate) means to make active or operative, which is similar to stimulate's effect. Only suppress represents the opposite action of reducing or stopping activity rather than promoting it.

5. When the meditation teacher asked students to focus on their breathing, each participant __________ memories of peaceful moments from their past to enhance the calming effect of the exercise.

"Summoned" means to call forth or bring into action through effort of will or memory. In this context, it refers to deliberately calling up or evoking memories, which is a mental rather than physical action. The students are intentionally bringing peaceful memories to mind to aid their meditation practice. Option B (dismissed) means to put aside or reject, which is opposite to calling forth memories. Option C (suppressed) means to hold back or restrain, contradicting the active recall described. Option D (ignored) and Option E (avoided) both suggest deliberately not thinking about memories, which contradicts the intended enhancement of the calming effect through memory recall.
